Jeseka Price, better known online as j2pricey, recently paused the daily scroll to commemorate a deeply personal milestone. On May 21, Price marked the heavenly birthday of a beloved family member nicknamed “Big” with a simple yet poignant Instagram post. With just a vintage photo and the caption “Happy Heavenly Birthday #BIG 🎂🌹🕊️ #TBE,” she tapped into a universal longing to celebrate loved ones who are no longer with us.
Throwback Tribute
In her latest post (https://www.instagram.com/p/DJ7ZihIpCtU/), Price shared a sepia-tinged snapshot of “Big” smiling broadly, a reminder of brighter days. The hashtags #BIG and #TBE signaled both the person she was honoring and the throwback nature of the image. By adding cake and dove emojis alongside a single rose, j2pricey struck a balance between celebration and solemn remembrance. Fans immediately flooded the comments with heart emojis, dove icons and personal notes of sympathy, lauding her for keeping “Big’s” memory alive online.
#TBE, or Throwback Thursday, has become a popular way for social-media users to revisit meaningful moments. But in Price’s hands, it transforms into a monthly ritual—her own digital altar for remembering family milestones. Unlike the typical fashion-or-travel throwbacks, j2pricey’s posts delve deep into her personal archives, often revealing stories that span generations.
Family Legacy
This isn’t the first time Price has used her feed to honor relatives. In late April, she posted a birthday tribute to her grandfather, Charlie Price Sr., under the hashtag #HBD. In that caption she wrote, “My grandpa was a hardworking & a good man… he built homes for living & also became a Property Landlord for many neighbors on their street in #NC.” That post (https://www.instagram.com/p/DJZvQ3rJSNZ/) included multiple black-and-white photos of her grandfather at various stages of life, illustrating how he overcame a fifth-grade education to leave a lasting mark on his community.
On other occasions, j2pricey has even traced her roots back to the Valley of the Kings, sharing portraits of her great-grandmother Cora “Jones” Lanier, born in 1889. Through #Ancestors and #Elegance hashtags, she weaves together North African and Greek heritage with personal anecdotes, using Instagram almost like a living family album.
Community Response
Within hours of posting, “Happy Heavenly Birthday #BIG” racked up thousands of likes. Followers responded with stories of their own “heavenly birthdays,” turning Price’s comments section into a virtual memorial. Some tagged siblings, others shared photographs of late parents or grandparents. Influencer and designer @mealswithmel__ wrote, “Such a beautiful way to remember him—sending love to you and your family.” Others simply left candle and dove emojis, signaling respect.
By framing grief in a communal setting, Jeseka Price has tapped into a broader trend: using social platforms to process loss and celebrate legacy. Psychologists note that public memorials can foster connection, allowing people to feel less alone in their mourning. With j2pricey’s growing following, each tribute multiplies that effect, creating a digital circle of support.
Price’s thoughtful use of hashtags—from #TBE to #HBD—also sparks conversations about how we archive personal histories in the digital age. Instead of relegating family photos to dusty albums, she brings them front and center, reminding viewers that every snapshot carries a story.
As Jeseka Price continues to chronicle her family’s past, one thing remains clear: social media isn’t just for sharing the highlights. For her, it’s a space to preserve memories, honor legacies and invite others to reflect on their most cherished moments. In doing so, she transforms simple throwbacks into timeless tributes that resonate far beyond a single feed.
